Monster life starting from picking up materials

There was no more sound of monsters wreaking havoc behind me. Did the fire dragon stop chasing me?

The mountain cat breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up from running on all fours, holding his knees with his hands and breathing slightly, the same movements as the Grand Commander.

He reached out and touched the smoke weasel hanging from his chest, hoping to soothe it, but found nothing.

The mountain cat was stunned and looked down, then he realized that the smoke weasel was no longer in his arms.

When? Where did it go?!

Lynx was rapidly recalling what happened during the escape in his mind. He was so focused on paying attention to the sound of the wind behind him and confirming the escape route that he didn't even react when Smoke Weasel jumped out of the car halfway!

It’s broken, it’s broken!

The bobcat looked back, smoothed the panicked hair on his chest, and chose to return to look for the smoke weasel.

Before he had walked back far, he saw a smoke weasel with messy fur running towards him. He quickly squatted down to protect the smoke weasel and checked its condition.

The tip of his nose twitched slightly, and he smelled a very attractive faint fragrance, which was the smell of the pheromone of the smoky weasel, which was very faint.

Looking back at the road we came from, we didn't see any large monsters attacking here.

It should be that the Smoke Weasel ran back and led the fire dragon in another direction.

"Huh, I finally escaped, meow!"

I was worried that the smoke weasel had attracted the fire dragon, but I didn't expect that it was the one that led the fire dragon away in the end.

He reached out to smooth down the Smoke Weasel's fur, which would further mask its pheromones.

But at this time, Ji Jie had already used his claws to comb his body and smooth his fur, which made the mountain cat withdraw his hand.

He looked up at the sky. It was already evening. He had just escaped from the claws of a dangerous fire dragon, so he would not continue his journey tonight.

After walking from the forest to the wasteland section at night, he found a broken hollow log and crawled into it, moved stones to block the entrance on one side, and then turned his sight to the other side to establish a door-killing advantage.

He also did not choose to light a campfire. Campfire can drive away monsters, but it can also attract monsters to put out the fire. The previous fire dragon really scared him, making him extremely cautious.

The insect guide lamp on the waist was taken down and placed in the center, emitting light to provide illumination. The smoke weasel was beside it, turning the light of the insect guide into a brighter blue.

I originally wanted to let it taste my barbecue skills, but it’s a pity. However, there will be another chance later.

There are some homemade pot roasts, which are also pretty good.

Bobcat felt in his pocket, took out two pieces of roasted pork from the food bag, and shared them with Ji Jie, one piece each.

The burly Felynx stared at the only exit of the hollow wood and began to keep watch, occasionally pricking up his ears to listen to the movements nearby.

Looking at the blue guide insect flying, he felt a little sleepy unknowingly.

"Meow~?"

When he opened his eyes again, the mountain cat was shocked to realize that he had fallen asleep. He looked around and bumped his head against a hollow wooden tube, making a confused sound.

Then he saw the smoke weasel guarding the cave entrance, alert and vigilant, as if he was guarding the first half of the night and it was guarding the second half.

"What a reliable partner!"

Thinking of how it had previously lured away the male fire dragon, the mountain cat couldn't help but praise it.

He picked up the insect-guiding lamp, hung it back around his waist, and walked out.

Ji Jie also went out and looked at the sky which was slightly pale.

It's time to get going again.

……

The cat and the meerkat had already passed through the woods and returned to the coastal plain road, and the rocky wasteland was now ahead.

The bobcat tilted its head and looked toward the front right.

I remember there was an island there. The ships of the second group were forced to anchor there when the Flame Dragon's "Yangyan" blocked the coastline, and were attacked by an unknown ancient dragon.

It was also at that time that his sword broke.

He subconsciously touched the hilt of the sword behind him, feeling the missing weight, which was now filled by the kitchen utensils at his waist.

"We've really reached the wasteland, meow. Do pumpkins really grow in the wasteland?"

He made a slightly confused sound.

"In the forest in the wasteland."

Ji Jie added, even though the other party couldn't understand what he was mumbling.

He rushed forward and ran toward the swamp in the north.

Listening to the squeaking sound made by the smoke weasel, the mountain cat felt that it was an affirmative answer.

——The other side of the wasteland——

"Will Spinosaurus really go in this direction?"

The Grand Commander took off the veil that protected him from the sand and wind, looked at the desert in front of him, and fell into deep thought again.

He had left the small forest long ago and passed through a wasteland covered with cacti. He was imagining that there was a Spinosaurus hiding among the cacti, but after walking around the entire cactus area, he could not see any trace of the Spinosaurus.

Instead, he saw ceratopsians fighting for territory and was almost attacked by them.

Perhaps the Spinosaurus had already left, and the traces it left behind had long since disappeared under the ravages of the Ceratopsians.

"Elusive."

He sighed. He couldn't see any large monsters in the rocky desert. Disappointed, he lost the desire to investigate and chose to go back and rest.

After returning to the cactus field, I broke off a piece of cactus, squeezed out some juice and put it into my mouth to quench my thirst.

"Let's first investigate the ceratopsians in this cactus field."

The Grand Commander turned around, raised his telescope, and looked at the ceratopsians moving in the wasteland.

He was actually not interested in ceratopsians. The relevant ecology of ceratopsians had been analyzed quite thoroughly in the original continent. The ceratopsians in the New World looked no new in their ecology except that they were stronger.

What really interested him were the scars on the horned dinosaur from predators and the traces of the Flame King Dragon discovered by the guide insects.

So, the Flame King Dragon that the second group tracked during the ancient dragon crossing settled in the wasteland?

But when he put down the telescope and looked up, he realized that he had not seen any sunburn phenomenon caused by the activities of the Flame King Dragon during his activities in the wasteland these days.

Chapter 427: Nana Under the Smoke

"What a huge swamp, meow!"

The cool Felyn looked at the swamp in front of it and couldn't help but exclaimed.

The river water came from the west, and when it passed the waterfall, it lost the constraints of the river bank and spread out a layer of varying depths on the mud.

Ji Jie carefully recalled the first time he saw this swamp. It was not so big yet.

The ecological environment is constantly changing, and the swamps are expanding naturally.

Thinking secretly, he walked towards the swamp with some hesitation.

Why hesitate? Because the smoke weasel is still too small and easily gets wet by the mud and water.

There is a river as an obstacle on the west side, and rocks surrounding the edge of the swamp on the east side, serving as a boundary separating the forest and the wasteland, like a barrier.

It can be said that in order to reach the forest in the north, it is almost necessary to cross the swamp.

There has never been such trouble in other forms of activities. If I had known earlier, I should have smashed those rocks in advance.

Maybe we can lure the mountain cat to take a detour, and then secretly break the layer of rock while it rests at night?

"We have to go north across the swamp, meow?"

The mountain cat squatted down slightly and pulled the smoke weasel into his arms.

Yes, he has a mount.

Being held in the arms of Felyne, Ji Jie immediately gave up his plan to sneak ahead to clear the way. He nodded and squeaked twice to express his affirmation.

The bobcat nodded, checked his boots, and headed towards the swamp.

The swamp is an extremely open terrain, and it is easy to see large monsters moving around in it, but hiding from large monsters is also quite troublesome.

Fortunately, Felynx is small in size, and if it lies down slightly, it will be ignored by the Mudfish Dragon patrolling its territory, thus successfully avoiding the fate of being hunted like someone else.

Ji Jie poked his head out of the mountain cat's arms and looked in a familiar direction. The sand dragon was still guarding its remaining eggs, but this time it was half buried in the mud to rest, very hidden.

"Meow!"

As Felyne screamed, Jijie was lifted up by him and hung around his neck like a scarf, while the mountain cat's free hands grasped the removed greatsword, and when he swung it, it splashed water and brought up some blood.

The biting fish with thick and long whiskers was thrown high into the air, and blood and internal organs fell from the smooth wound.

The waving sword was constantly repelling the nearby biting fish, but more biting fish of different sizes were still moving towards this side, and the shallow water layer could not affect their movements.

Sniffing slightly, the bobcat realized that the smell of blood might attract more carnivorous fish, and sped up towards the forest while repelling the biting fish.

Only when he stepped on the soft soil did he relax, inserted the sword into the soil and took a breath. After recovering some strength, he shook off the blood on the broken sword, moved the shoulder strap and reinserted it into the buckle.

After tidying up his muddy boots, he saw that his boots had been torn by the biting fish, and he couldn't help feeling a little scared.

If you are not vigilant enough, you might be dragged in by those dangerous carnivorous fish.

Patting Elucat's shoulder comfortingly, Jijie jumped off his neck and headed into the woods.

Stop in front of the pumpkin vine, use your little claws to turn over the leaves, and you can see the broken pumpkin that is beginning to rot underneath.

The mountain cat bent down and started turning over the leaves in the melon field with Ji Jie. He looked at the pumpkins that were broken by the monster's activities with a look of regret.

Just by looking at the curves and colors of these crushed pumpkins, he could imagine how beautiful the pumpkins produced here must have been.

The pumpkin season had not yet passed, and some newly ripe pumpkins had not yet been destroyed by the monster, so he picked them.

These pumpkins were all quite large, some were half his size, so he could only take two away. But the pumpkins were not the highlight, the vines that grew the pumpkins were.

Bobcat pulled out a small dagger, found the root of the healthiest vine, cut off the excess part, dug out the roots and soil, put them into the prepared container, and then poured nutrient solution into the roots of the vine to ensure that it was still healthy when it was brought back to the base.

After packing up two pumpkins and a few vines, Bobcat looked around and did not rush back. This was the first time he had come out so far from the base since he recovered from the injuries he suffered at that time. He could look for other ingredients.

Ji Jie also followed the mountain cat and wandered in the woods, wondering whether the leader had gone far and whether he could meet the mountain cat.

He wanted to find a chance to sneak back to the Golden City, but when he thought of the cool Felyne cat beside him curled up and fell asleep tiredly while on night watch, he thought, maybe he would be very happy if he could lead him to find the Grand Commander?

The woods were shady, and occasionally the sound of monsters could be heard, like the roar of a fire dragon, which scared the mountain cat so much that it shuddered and crouched down.

Looking in the direction of the sound, emerald green scales and shells fluttered in the woods. It was a female fire dragon, and it was quite a distance away from them.

Only then did he relax, and the guide insects flew out of the guide insect lamp, marking the surrounding traces and special plants.

The smoke weasel walking in front was also lingering around the plants worth picking.

As he wandered around in the forest, the sky gradually darkened. The mountain cat, who was already carrying a large bag, was now approaching the edge of the forest. He originally wanted to turn back and rest in the forest, but the large number of cacti in the wasteland ahead attracted his attention.

Cactus is also a food ingredient. The residents of the desert areas of the original continent have developed a variety of cooking methods for cactus. There is also a chef cat from Barubare in the investigation team who has always been thinking about cactus.

Maybe take some back with you.

But the cactus land is very dangerous. The nutritious cacti will attract many large monsters to compete for its territory, especially the ceratosaurus.

This experience may also be reliable in the New World.

Just as the mountain cat was hesitating whether to go collecting now or wait until dawn, the smoke from cooking in the distance attracted his attention.

"Meow!"

How could there be smoke from cooking in the wilderness?!

Bobcat's mind turned slightly, and the first thing he thought of was the other three missing persons in the investigation team.

Master Yuanye, the dragon hunter, and his companions!

He became slightly excited and walked towards the direction of the smoke with a big bag on his back. At the same time, he did not forget to be alert to the dangers around him and collected some delicious-looking cacti.

When Ji Jie looked at the wisp of smoke, the first person he thought of was the leader who was active nearby. He guessed that if they went forward they would run into each other.

But as they continued to advance in the cactus field, when their sight passed through the gaps between the cacti, they couldn't help but freeze in place.

The smoke was coming from the fire, and a pot could be seen above the fire, but there was no human figure next to the flames and the pot.

The mountain cat looked at the Flame Dragon who was cooking and fell into deep thought.

Ji Jie looked at Nana who was having a picnic, then looked at Felyne who was lost in thought, and also fell into deep thought.
